Last-Minute Luxury Valentine’s Gifts for Women

It’s time to finally upgrade their old suitcase. Carl Friedrik marries form with function, including beautiful colorways, such as the featured Navy and this Arctic Grey/Tan version.

Regardless of which color combo you choose, The Check-in features a TSA lock, 360-degree spinner, and an aluminum locking frame that protects your precious belongings. It also has plenty of interior storage, including two zips, two interior compression straps, and a compression pad for added protection. Despite its protective polycarbonate shell exterior, The Check-In weighs under 10 pounds, so your loved one can easily stay within airline weight regulations despite a full suitcase.

Don’t pop zits—zap them with this pain-free high-frequency wand. I recently named it my all-time favorite device for treating my acne-prone skin. On the lowest setting, it shrinks the acne that pops up after wearing a face mask and using a retinol cream in as little as a few hours. Most zits disappear after a day, but more stubborn ones are gone in about 48 hours.

Stacked’s set includes three attachments for my face’s large and small crevices, plus a comb that promises to stimulate hair follicles.

There’s no gatekeeping around here. SkinMedica is the brand on the lips of all my peers, and I’m equally obsessed with this epic serum. A powerful combination of growth factors, marine extract, green microalgae, and a proprietary peptide blend work together to nourish my skin and boost collagen and elastin levels for younger-looking complexion without painful needles. Within the first two weeks of use my smile lines were less obvious that even my clueless dad commented on the difference.

Scoring a coveted Samsung Frame TV of this size for under $1,800 is a major win. This slim-profile smart TV boasts crisp and vivid colors, and impressive audio. The upgraded anti-reflection matte display creates a realistic effect for the art from the Samsung store.

There are 2,600 precious pieces of work available in the store, ranging from the Mona Lisa by da Vinci and Garden at Sainte-Adresse by Claude Monet to breathtaking nature photos. I can also upload up to 1,200 original images and customize the final display layout.

Another bonus? I cut cable and can still watch hundreds of movies and TV shows for free with limited ads, including “Cruel Intentions” and “Killing Eve.” The Frame TV also has apps that allow me to log into dozens of streaming services, such as HBO Max (Succession hive stand up!), Apple TV (Ted Lasso), and Paramount+ to get my Mission Impossible fix.

Let’s leave the Ikea furniture for the dorms and starter apartments, and invest in this set of two no-assembly nightstands. The 100% upcycled wooden nightstands are available in four stunning finishes, including Walnut (pictured), Natural, Espresso, and Grey. They feature a soft-closure drawer to hide nightstand essentials and a roomy storage space to show off your favorite coffee table books or potted plant.

FWIW, I own the Thuma Bed and Headboard and can attest to its durability and Japanese-inspired designs, which are elevated, stylish, and meant to last for several years.

This isn’t your grandmother’s boring pearls. Jennifer Behr, a favorite of cool fashionistas and brides-to-be, adds a modern twist to this slim, black velvet headband by adorning it with pearls shaped like florals. The Maggie headband also features a grosgrain interior lining that’s gentle on your delicate strands.

The Courant Mag3: Classic is my favorite way to quickly boost my iPhone 15 and AirPods. It even has an extra USB-C charging port in the back to plug in the cord for a smartwatch, such as the Fitbit or Apple Watch. There’s also extra room to leave nightstand essentials, such as lip balm, hand cream, and my compact Samsung Frame TV remote.

Functionality aside, Mag3: Classic is my most stylish tech gadget. The charging station options are available in two fabrics — linen and leather — and several gorgeous colorways complement any interior design vibe. I opted for Saddle, a rich brown-grained leather that looks equally gorgeous on my walnut nightstand or light grey kitchen countertop.

Who says playtime is limited just to the bedroom? Beloved sex toy brand Le Wand created a fully IPX8 waterproof vibrator that will elevate shower and bath time to new sensual heights. The cord-free device features a flexible neck for comfort and is made with body safe silicone. With 10 powerful speeds, 20 titillating vibration patterns, and a powerful two-hour runtime it’s safe to say that she’ll never got bored of this sexy gift idea.

I tried dozens of diffusers, and the compact Vitruvi Move is seamless to use and rotate between different rooms. The battery life is impressive, as I find it lasts longer than the 4- and 8-hour preset settings. While most similar size diffusers can scent spaces up to 300 square feet, Move can fill rooms up to 500 square feet. The compact device

I own and love streaming movies on the XGIMI MoGo 2, but the brand released an upgraded version that’s worth the added cost. The lightweight and travel-friendly projector features Intelligent Screen Alignment and Obstacle Avoidance that automatically adjusts the video size based on the available wall space versus projecting it onto a table or dresser. The device has access to over 800 streaming channels and 10,000 apps, including Google TV and Netflix so we can all binge the fifth and final season of You starring Penn Badgely.

Plus, this smart projector comes with a PowerBase Stand to help stabilize the device while watching films indoors or outdoors once the weather warms up.

We previously named this the best overall stand mixer, and with good reason. Beyond the classic tilt-head, it’s a wonderful gift for bakers who will appreciate the powerful 325-watt motor and 10-speed options for maximum versatility. Deputy reviews editor Colin Aylesworth is also a major fan of Kitchenaid and loves to use the cutters to make pasta and the roller to make pierogies.

Plus, who doesn’t love all the fun colors available that will compliment your favorite baker’s kitchen counter?

This Valentine’s Day gift set is almost too pretty to eat. It contains 15 pieces of gourmet chocolate in limited-edition flavors: strawberry jam, quince marmalade, juniper berries, and black sesame. The box contains a mix of milk and dark chocolates, some of which are even heart-shaped.

Plus, the adorable Parisian-inspired multicolored printed box with a satin bow means you won’t have to deal with wrapping up this gift. (And if you’re anything like me, that’s a major relief.)

Your favorite lady friend will be the best-dressed woman in whatever room she enters when sporting this floor-length dress during the gala and wedding season. It ties at the back, but it still has a zip closure for extra security, while the leg slit adds a sexy touch to the gown. Plus, the flattering dress comes in an icy baby blue that would look absolutely stunning with the featured jewelry in this guide.

Leave it to Lovehoney to curate a gift set to help you and your partner spice up things in the bedroom. This gift set is filled with all of Lovehoney’s biggest hits, including the We-Vibe Moxie+ panty vibrator, which is worth $139 alone. There are high-end toys, including a bullet vibe, c-ring, and butt plug, plus accessories such as massage oil, water-based toy gel, and toy wipes to keep things sanitary.

She’ll adore this beginner-friendly clitoral vibrator that earned major snaps from senior editor Cat Bowen. “I love this one. It charges really fast and it doesn’t have any nooks and crannies for cleaning. Plus, it can be a grind toy. It’s a winner,” she says.

This sexy self-care gift is made with body-safe silicone and designed for external and internal solo play, but a partner can always join in on the fun. The waterproof toy features seven patterns and eight intensity levels to enjoy — and even the highest setting is discreet.

Dermatologists swear by the benefits of slip pillowcases, and as someone who owns a set, I can confirm they are so much better than basic cotton pillowcases.

“I love Slip because of their super smooth texture and gorgeous colors. Plus, data shows that their pillowcases absorb significantly less face cream and create 43% less friction than cotton pillowcases,” board-certified dermatologist Dr. Rebecca Marcus, M.D., previously told me.

Amazon offers 16 colors and patterns, including Highland Rose, a gorgeous pink tartan print, and Seabreeze, a stunning icy blue.

Sure, a reusable water bottle is great, but how about one that cleans itself? The LARQ bottle uses UV light to kill bacteria within it — all in 60 seconds. The bottle even self-cleans every two hours, so there’s no need to continually press any buttons. It will also keep water hot for up to 12 hours or cold for up to 24 hours.

“Being a cool tech product, the bottle also has an intuitive companion app that helped me monitor my hydration habits and count the number of bottled waters I didn’t have to pay for,” says senior tech editor Stefan Vazharov.

Dry, ashy skin is never any fun. The secret to softer, firmer-looking skin this winter is to slather on The Body Cream, which contains TFC8, a proprietary blend of amino acids, vitamins, and peptides. It has a velvety consistency that absorbs fast and leaves my skin deeply hydrated and luminous. Plus, a clinical study shows it can even help minimize stretch marks and cellulite, making it an especially welcome gift idea for a new mom.

I’m usually cynical about celebrity beauty brands, but Brad Pitt’s Beau Domaine skincare line is legit! The best-selling face cream harnesses the antioxidant power of grapes to help slow down signs of aging, like fine lines and wrinkles. A blend of organic olive oil and shea butter nourishes my skin, leaving it soft to the touch. The chic packaging doesn’t hurt, either. I proudly display mine on the top shelf of my beauty closet.

Gifting these makeup brushes are worth it because they have lasted me for years, apply cosmetics quickly and effectively, and help me achieve a flawless finish with each application. There are 15 brushes for the face and eyes, so your loved one can stipple, blend, and dust on liquid, powder, and cream products without leaving behind any streaks. The blue wooden handle is aesthetically pleasing and functional. Each item from the Golden Triangle collection features ergonomic handles that legit do not roll off my vanity — a first-world pain I have experienced with other brushes. As a bonus, this set includes a protective pouch that prevents dust from accumulating on the brushes and makes travel so much easier.
